The branches of the larger grove was tremendously overgrown. The foliage was thick and air and sunlight can not reach the inner spaces between the twigs where buds grow. This photo shows a branch tip and growth that is very dense. The second photo shows what a branch looks like after it is pruned back hard. Even with all the growth, I had the beginnings of numerous buds withing the dense foliage. How I don't know.
